bumpity. 2nd leg matches underway for most teams.

Ajax is out unless they score two goals in 4 minutes. been an exciting game thus far.

Arsenal seals it with a Rosicky goal against his old team.

Unfortunately the arsenal tv feed was too choppy for me to watch. Currently watching the celtic-spartak moscow match. agg 2-2 and could go to extra time. Nakamura just had a breakaway saved but the spartak keeper.

red card for a spartak defender.

oh hi. some guy with a really long name just hit the crossbar on a penalty in the 24th minute of extra time.

Celtic is through!
What a game!

Two goals, two missed penalties, a red card, a bad ref, team mates fighting, a penalty shoot out, and mad drunk scots singing their hearts out.

Only thing missing was a streaker.

just read the match report, wow that celtic match looked like a cracker

two scottish teams move onto the group stages, 4 English teams. A big FU to the continent.

an even bigger FU to Bayern Munich who are only in the uefa cup

the draw for the group stages is tomorrow, right?

TSC any large bets vs me? I will take Man U or livershit vs your gayboys for any amount of money.

Yea, they're still doing the drawing tomorrow even with the AEK-Sevilla game postponed.

Why the hell not, anyone want an avatar bet versus AC Milan? Any team is welcome, especially a dumb one like Liverpool.

I don't bet money on sports, ever. I would take an avatar bet, but it looks like you are a glory hunter, since you'd take action with either manU or livershite.

Just back from celtic game!! yaaaassss what a [censored] incredible atmosphere. Mon the ticcccc. BORUC YOU LEGEND!!!

Ill do a avatar bet where you have 2 have a picture of ronaldo if you lose and if I lose you can pick any team picture or player picture from aresenal, maybe fabregay?

COnfirm please

I don't even know what the bet is.

Whoever gets farther, if both dont make it out of pool whoever has more points? You can chime in with what you want the bet to be.....

Which team are you picking?

Ill take Man U obv so u can sport the C ronaldo avatar
